What can teenagers do for fun on the weekends?

I used to have so much fun a few years ago and I don't remember what I did, but I was definitely more immature.





Now that we are older, we are running out of things to do and we just sit around on the computer, talking and stuff. It's getting really old.





What are some ideas of things we can do on the weekend? Preferably something that costs little to no money.What can teenagers do for fun on the weekends?
These are just a few things I found on-line for teen fun. But personally I think it would be fun to do some fundraising on the weekends and plan a GROUP TRIP with friends and and a few adult chaperones. You could go on a group ski trip, or plan a trip to the beach, or collectively vote on a trip that everyone in your group would enjoy taking. You could spend your weekends and free time after school fundraising until you reach the amount of funds needed to take your group trip. I included a link to an on-line fundraising website if that's an idea that you would like to pursue. Another idea would be to volunteer, go to your favorite search engine and search for volunteer matching organizations. You could do volunteer work and gain experience in things you would like to do in a future career. For example, my daughter wants to be a graphic designer and I found a volunteer opportunity where a local organization needed a graphic designer to make a flyer for an upcoming event. Something else you could do is learn a new hobby, dancing, sewing, or various forms of art. My sister-in-law (SIL) made a HUGE doll house out of plastic canvas, seriously, she sewed the entire house, and everything in it out of plastic canvas! It was AMAZING!!





1. Paintballing/Mini-Golf/Lasertag: Ok this is three in one, but teens usually love doing these kinds of activities, they can be co-ed and not that much money for a few hours of amusement (and physical activity).





2. Comedy Clubs: There are a lot of improv clubs, comedy clubs or even coffee shops that have stand-up that allow all ages. This can be a really fun weekend night for teens. You could also ask in advance to use a local coffee shop for the teens to do their own stand-up one night and they will all buy coffee and bring friends as an incentive to the owner.





3. Plan a Themed Party: So this sounds lame, but I do not mean plan a themed party in the 4th grade sense, I mean, if you are willing to open up your house have a party that will appeal to teens: an 80鈥檚 movie marathon and make dinner, fondue, pop-culture trivia night, pool party and BBQ, murder mystery鈥?br>




4. Dinner and a Show: There are lots of places that offer dinner and then some sort of entertainment, we used to go to a place that was Mexican food and then a salsa class and then a salsa band which was all ages or you can go to a place like Medieval times where they have food and then a joust show.





5. Celebrate a Holiday (no matter how minor): Luckily, my mom had lots of patience and loved to cook, we often had Valentines parties (for my sisters and our friends and I) Superbowl parties (for my brother and his friends) or Halloween Parties (co-ed), where she would come up with games and serve us lots of food, it definitely kept us away from 鈥榩arents-are-away-for-the-weekend鈥?parties that were going on.





6. Gameroom: We had a friend who鈥檚 parents had tons of board games, a ping pong table, air-hockey table, pinball machine and a foosball table. This was AWESOME, it was great when it was just girls, just boys, but also a great way to spend time with the opposite sex when they came over. You might think of getting one of these or some videogame systems like a Wii with lots of controllers. My brother and his friends (I thought they were losers at the time, but it probably kept them out of trouble) all had their own 鈥榣aser-guns鈥?and would wear vests and little blinking things and run around the neighborhood or backyards in their own version of outdoor lasertag.





7. Plan a Tournament: For boys, host a videogame tournament at your house (usually just includes lots of your patience and lots of food) or, if you have the space or live near a park, have a sports day. For girls, I would also put spa party/sleepover, chocolate making party and craft or jewelry-making party under this category. Notice how I use the term 鈥榩arty鈥?loosely, in my opinion, the more you can make it feel like everyone is showing up for something special and that it is being planned for them, the more distracting and fun it can be.





8. Attend an event: Go to free outdoor concerts, big music festivals or sports games.





9. House Hop: This one takes lots of cordination, but works really well if you do end up doing a parent-event-planning-commitee (above). Since we get bored really easily, have four different houses get together and host a different part of the night (preferably if they are in walking or short driving distance) one house does snacks and outdoor activities, then someone else has BBQ dinner, someone else does game night and then end at dessert.





10. Drop Off at a Distant Location: I could not think of a better name for this category, but there are lots of game centers, go-carting, water parks, theme parks at night where you can drop a bunch of teens off and maybe hang-out in the area and have a date night while they play.

Don't have sex.
Hang out at the mall!


You don't have to buy anything :)
I just pick a street close to us with some shops and restaurants. Then, we just hang out and be friends.
